It is the opposite, IQ correlates with basically every measure and score people have came up with that they think could represent intelligence in some way. This concept is called G.
Your hypothesis as to what properties minds have, what those properties give rise to, and how IQ tests count as measures *has no scientific backing*. This description of IQ tests is, imv, an extremely unlikely account.
If you want to show IQ scores are measures of these properties, please provide (1) a theory of the mind in which these properties appear as experimental variables; (2) experiments in which these variables are controllable; and (3) evidence that IQ correlates with the expected controlled outcomes.
Note, the above has never been done. Making the assertion that IQ measures intelligence circular. It is simply, asserted.
